  I'm glad to hear of the possibility of the line continuing. It is a good action, reasonably priced, and competitive with anything.
  I would like to see them interviewed and their story documented in the Journal. If someone could do this it would be a great service to the single shot community now and into the future.

Go to shrinkpictures dot com and follow their instructions.  One at s time is free; multiples all at once you have to subscribe to.  The "custom" 1000 px at "best" quality will fit the dialogue box size.

Good to see the outfit is in business again.  I just might get one of those 4-finger loop levers for my Model S.

The rimmed extractor has been changed to the nine o'clock position making this a very good buy at 500 dollars. The original extractor was a "challenge" for the average guy to fit. I hope they sell a zillion.  Ledball

Porch dog I had to check your location. Thought you might from Albany NY -Watervilet Arsenal,been there and remember all the naval canons on display,16",14" 12" . Just kidding,I am pic challenged myself. I have known the Fix Bros,having gone to Monroe CC back in the 50's. Talked to Joe about future plans,years ago.Have bought from them,Leo the market guy has been a Marine rescue responder?The SS shot market wasn't viable enough to make FBW the basic way to go. I tried to influence a gun 
entrepreneur to buy in,didn't pan out,  Sad.Glad something is happening. 57thahc

Is the stock pattern unique to this rifle or will an existing stock pattern fit?
